I’m in Yuma visiting my parents for Christmas. I got an email from Verizon as well about Yuma, AZ getting 4g LTE. I looked at their coverage map and all of Yuma still shows 3g. I even called Verizon to confirmed that it wasn’t an issue with my phone (Wanted to see if there was an issue with the PRL not updating)

The CS rep told me that’s a 4g LTE market but couldn’t tell me when it’s going to be active.

Interesting that Flagstaff and Prescott have 4g LTE, which were new cities in the email from Verizon.

Yeah, I bought one a few years ago for $250. Back when they were giving them away free. They wouldn’t give me one, because in their database, my address is down the street (which gets 4G). They “sent a tech out” to physically test my location (again, went to wrong place) and said that I have 4G. I asked the CS Rep to LOOK at their map, and pinpoint where the tech went. I explained that my house is about a block away from where their map shows, and that I had told EVERY CS Rep that I spoke with.. All play dumb and say “oh, it shows that you live over there!” – Even after explaining it multiple times. They don’t get it, nor care. The extender I have only does basic phone, no data. And does it VERY poorly. Drops calls, has HORRIBLE range (5,000ft my arse). 30ft or so and i lose signal. /xtremerant

They also left out Bradford Pennsylvania, we also got 4g today too, i was shocked to find out that i had a 4g connection because i have not heard a thing about it being put in here., but i love it! Fastest speeds i’ve got on speed tests so far were 20.40Mbps Down and 12.30Mbps Up.

at&t isn’t far behind but at least their store reps don’t treat customers poorly or blacklist them

Northern Michigan got lit up this week, yet no word of it. Check the coverage map!

Keep calling VZW and bitching, they finally got tired of me and sent me a network extender for 90% off. Service in my area is ran by a small indenpendant cellone monopoly…

No reason to lash out with personal attacks. You could have written all that without the first 3 words, and it would’ve been fine.

Oklahoma City and surrounding towns all have 4G LTE. Even the ones 20-30mi out. Lawton and Tulsa have the same deal. Oklahoma has a great 4G market.

have you guys tried signal extenders?

By: Matthew Merrick

you’re an idiot. that has nothing to do with cell tower saturation or bandwidth, it has to do with the sheer number of lte devices on the network. of course if the service came out and youre the only one under your cell tower with an lte device, youre going to get great speeds. if you hook up a few thousand lte devices, OF COURSE youre gonna see a speed decrease.
